ESL is an acronym for Extended Shelf Life, a technology to extend the shelf life of perishable products. By reducing micro-organisms in ingredients and improving the cleanliness or the sterilization of processing equipment, the finished products can achieve increased protection against harmful bacteria growth. For filling machines, ESL capabilities include better sterilization technologies for filling systems and containers to ensure a higher sanitary level as opposed to standard chilled fillers. The sterilization system improves stability and reliability of the products, yielding more opportunities to expand regional distribution and extend pulling dates at stores. Above all, the ESL technology is particularly effective in preventing consumer complaints or casualties resulted by bacterial contamination or spoilage of the products. At SHIKOKU, we offer our cutting-edge ESL technology. We are certain our ESL filling machines can help to differentiate your products and optimize your competitiveness in the market.
